- Check the oil level regularly.
- The oil level must not fall below the Minimum marking or rise above the Maximum marking.
- Only use approved engine oils.

Information
If the oil level drops below the minimum marking, the segment below starts flashing!
The difference between the minimum and maximum marking is approx. 1.5 liters, i.e. one segment corresponds to approx. 0.5 liters of oil.
Never fill or top up with engine oil above the maximum marking.

6. The minimum oil level is reached when only the lowest segment on the oil level indicator is filled. Fill in new engine oil immediately.
7. If the lowest segment is flashing, the oil level has already fallen below the Min marking. Fill in new engine oil immediately.
